After winning at trial on its counterclaim, Premier Homes Group, LLC sought to recover its attorney’s fees from Pinnacle Flooring Solutions, LLC. The trial court denied Premier’s request for attorney’s fees, finding that Premier had not sufficiently identified the basis for its request in its
counterclaim as required by Rule 3:25(b) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia. The Court of Appeals reversed that judgment concluding that, while Premier’s counterclaim did not explicitly state the basis for its request, Pinnacle was appropriately on notice of the basis, satisfying Rule 3:25(b).
